Greetings, I am a new member to this community. I am the original owner of a 1994 3/4 ton Pickup. It has a standard transmission with a 6.5L turbocharged engine. It has very low miles, and is used mostly for hauling a camper around in the summer. Right now I am upgrading the engine air flow. On the intake side, I have been told that the stock airbox can be swapped to a 1997 1 ton high capacity, which will fit a Trueflow filter. I am also upgrading the exhaust to a Banks system which includes a superscoop for the intake, and a so if it works I should get a larger volume of cool air to the intake. The other option was to use an AFE filter assembly, but it seems to me that since this assembly is basically an open filter in the engine copmpartment it would result in sucking hot engine air rather than cool outside air. Does anyone have experence with this? My main question is wether the 97 air box will fit into the 94 truck. Any other ideas? Thank You for your help,
Jim Ortman, Bozeman

This works better than stock box yours and mine has, though the aFe that fits our boxs work very good in air flow and filtering.

Done this many years ago. Did you get the Stinger Kit? boost, egt gauges.
And there prom chip? The kit also came a K&N filter I have ran for the same time. Now I run the aFe filter.

I recently replaced my stock air intake with the AFE Stage 2 intake system. Fit was good and easy to install. I also installed Jardine's Pinnacle Power Exhaust system, 4", from the turbo back. Power was definitely better and mileage went from 15.6 to 17.5 with just those two upgrades. I'm happy with the results.
